I've seen many a trooper use camo as a crutch to excuse poor field skills and by and large the various patterns seem to foster an idea that you don't have to try as hard to stay hidden. Dark Khaki (or Flat Dark Earth as the "operator types" (and that's another rant) call it) is a true multi environment colour, it blends well in the desert as well as the green sorts of places. Besides proper design of the uniform itself can lend to one that works well in the field and looks sharper than hell in garrison.

It seems Khaki in various shades and the various shade of olive-green worked for long time for the normal troops...
We are forgetting the next most commonly used color of basic Black that some many "operator types" like to say they use too... *Shrug*
